What Is QR Code Analytics?
QR code analytics refers to the data collected when someone scans a dynamic QR code. Unlike static QR codes that simply encode a URL, dynamic QR codes route through a tracking server that captures information about each scan before redirecting the user to your destination.
Every time someone scans a tracked QR code, the system records the timestamp, the scanner's approximate location based on their IP address, what type of device they used (iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop), their operating system version, and which browser handled the scan. This data flows into a dashboard where you can see patterns, compare performance across different campaigns, and make informed decisions about where to invest your marketing budget.
The real power of QR code analytics comes from the ability to answer questions that were previously impossible to answer with print media. Which of your three store locations gets the most scans from the window display? Does your trade show booth QR code perform better in the morning or afternoon? Are people actually using the QR code on your product packaging, or is it just decoration? With scan data, these questions have concrete answers.

Common Questions About QR Code Analytics
Do I need technical skills to use this?
No. If you can copy-paste a URL, you can create a tracked QR code. It takes about 30 seconds.
What data do you track?
Each scan captures: date/time, city & country, device type (iPhone, Android, etc.), operating system, and browser. We don't collect personal information about scanners.
Can I really change where the QR code goes?
Yes. Your printed QR code points to our redirect server. You control the final destination from your dashboard. Change it as often as you want—the printed code never changes.
What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?
Static QR codes encode the URL directly—they can't be tracked or changed. Dynamic QR codes route through a server, enabling analytics and the ability to update the destination anytime without reprinting.
How accurate is the location data?
Location is determined by IP address, which is typically accurate to the city level. It won't give you a street address, but you'll know if scans are coming from Dallas vs. Houston vs. Chicago.
What happens after my trial ends?
Your QR codes keep working. You just won't see new analytics data until you upgrade. We never hold your QR codes hostage.
